I have never had to get something that hot to get it to loosen up especially not a Brake Line. In fact I only burned the brake line a bit where near the crimped area.
Unfortunately there is no way to describe to someone how much heat to use. I simply try to use the minimum I can.
If you heat it and it did not work you can always heat it more.
